What does Bleu de Chine (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick fall, spring and winter, while summer trails behind. It suits evenings, leisure time and nights out best, and is rarely chosen for the office.

Bergamot, lily of the valley, tuberose and jasmine give it a fresh, floral opening. In the heart, oakmoss, sandalwood and vetiver lay down a green, woody ground. The base of vanilla, tonka bean, balsam and musk sweetens it and adds a powdery, oriental warmth. Jean Patou Sublime and Emanuel Ungaro Senso have a close profile.
